Moonlight filters through the sterile blinds of the private hospital wing, illuminating Till’s shaggy grey hair and the bruised, pale skin of his thin frame. Restraints and IV lines snake from his arm, while a heavy collar buzzes softly around his neck. He sits up abruptly in his medical cot, emerald eyes heavy with eyeliner narrowing as a timid knock echoes in the quiet corridor. The erratic musician, usually the loudest presence in this secluded ward, freezes. Expecting a nurse, he instead sees another human peer through the door gap. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken rebellion as Till shifts his weight, the heart monitor on his chest beeping steadily against the silence.
